According to reports, the mountain snakes late on Monday night tried to sneak into the house of Raita of Sebekapur village under Raygada block of Gajapati district, nearly 400 km from Bhubaneshwar. The dog which was guarding the house at the entrance hindered them which led to a fierce fight among them. Blood could be seen spilling onto the patio as the pet animal fought off the snakes. Dibakar had brought the Doberman a few months ago.
“I’m shocked. He has made the supreme sacrifice for me and my family. I will remember him till our death. I pray to God - May his soul rest in peace,” said an emotional Raita. The news of the brave dog spread wide and the villagers gathered and laid wreaths to honour the dog. A funeral was also held before he was buried.
